Hossage Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Farve was above average during his entire career, excepting the year before last, when he was excellent. He played very well against us twice last year. As far as the whole retiring thing; he's a little flaky. There are worse things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastro Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I caught a discussion on NFL Networks about it this morning and I liked what they had to say about it. No player has the right to tell another player when he thinks it is time for him to quit. That is an individual decision and as long as he is in demand that decision belongs to that individual alone.

No player has the right to tell another player when he thinks it is time for him to quit. That is an individual decision and as long as he is in demand that decision belongs to that individual alone. But people aren't upset about the fact that he wants to play. They're upset that he's retired, then unretired, then retired, then unretired, then retired, then unretired, then retired, and now might unretire again. He's jerking people around, including his own family and the team that was loyal to him for 18 seasons, all the while basking in the glory of the mainstream sports media sucking his dick every day. That is the source of the resentment. Nobody wants him to retire because he's too old, they want him to retire because that's what he said he was going to do 4 separate times.

Mr. WEO Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Why should that really bother anybody? If he plays poorly, so what? It has no impact on anyone than his current team's fans. If he plays well, what is there ot beef about? Kiss the ring, Fran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrahammer Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Let me break it down to where most Favre HATERS will comprehend easily: Favre is like the Jeff Gordon of the NFL. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el Tigre Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I don't feel right rooting for somebody to fail. But I can't help it with Favre. He has been a primadonna,jerking organizations and teammates around on multiple occasions. He's acted like a punk. And the media has given him a free pass on his behavior. Guys like Chad Johnson have been crucified by the media for doing much less,imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrahammer Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Chad Johnson doesn't get crucified like T.O. Favre gets appreciation from the media based on his accomplishments. He's done a tremendous amount in his career, some amazing things, and deservingly so. Things that completely overshadow his INT count mind you.

extrahammer Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 TO has the second most TD Receptions in history. Most people in the media prolly dont even know that Most readers of the media don't realize that when a player usually says something, it's mostly an answer to a question from a media member. I recall the T.O. bashing in the media after his 100th TD catch in Philly and how the Eagles didn't do more to celebrate it. I believe he was asked if the Eagles should have done more if I remember correctly? If so, I applaud him. Such is the case with Favre, yet a lot of people hate him. Now, honestly, is Favre calling up John Clayton, and Jay Glazer whining to them? Very doubtful. I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. They're calling and texting Farve and Favre's telling them how he feels, ESPN dramatizes it up and blows your eyes and ears with the headlines all over the sportsticker, SportsCenter, ESPN News, ESPN blogs, NFL Live, Outside The Lines, PTI, Around the Horn, so after 4 hours, it basically comes down to Favre just saying how he feels and entities like ESPN beating it to death.

I think this is a load of crap. I think the reason is displayed most accurately in post #17, second paragraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
